Chapter 41: Picking up the Wool
"The last lot will be auctioned next, and everyone should already know what it is, and I won't sell it."
"A small iron ore land right located in Matsukai no Mori, Mt. Hitani! The starting price is 200 gold coins, and the minimum price increase is one silver coin each time, and we are ready to go! ”
Ferroz shouted enthusiastically, but no one in the audience paid any attention to him.
Those who know the inside story have long known that this mine is a pit, and it will be a hot potato to take over.
If Battaya could sell the iron ore privately, he would not have put it up for sale at the auction house.
If some unwitting foreign businessman sees it, he thinks that he will lose a lot of money by picking up the piece of money.
For the situation off the field, Feroz has already been mentally prepared, and his expression on the surface has not changed much, and he is still enthusiastically promoting the iron mine.
"The starting price is two hundred gold coins, with all kinds of basic mining equipment, this price is close to the cost price, no one wants to pick up the leaks and try it?"
After calling several times in a row, there was still no offer, and Feroz sighed slightly in his heart, it seemed that the auction was going to be lost.
And just before Ferroz was about to shout out the unsuccessful auction, the VIP room on the second floor suddenly heard the sound of a price increase.
"Bid, add a silver coin."
Hearing someone bidding, everyone present was surprised and turned their heads to check the source of the sound.
It's not that the price increase is too picky, but I want to see if that fool dares to jump into the pit.
The source of this voice is none other than Goodern.
Many of the people present made their fortunes from activities in Jinyuan City, and they were still a little familiar with Gooden.
"Hey, isn't this Young Master Gudern, Lord of Qingyuan? I heard a few days ago that I was seriously injured and was going to die, how could I be here? ”
"I think it's possible that serious injuries are real, but my body is better, my brain is broken, and I really have money to squander it......"
"Haha, who doesn't know that Young Master Gooden's generous shots are magnanimous, it seems that the money from his family has arrived in advance this year."
……
The discussion of the crowd did not affect the conduct of the auction, and when Ferroz saw that someone had raised the price, he immediately shouted for it again passionately.
"Young Master Gooden, the bid of two hundred gold and one silver seems to be trying to pick up the leak, I wonder if anyone else present has this idea?"
"Bidding has begun, time is limited!"
There was a strange situation in the auction hall at this moment, with Ferroz working the stage to liven up the auction atmosphere, but the auctioneers in the audience were discussing Gooden's behavior.
The two sides said their own words, and it was harmonious and lively.
Facardo, who was also in the VIP room on the second floor, couldn't help but look a little hideous when he heard Gooden's bid.
Since the slap he received yesterday, as long as he heard the name Goodern, a nameless fire inexplicably burst out in his heart.
And now Gooden's bidding behavior made him feel jealous, why could he squander hundreds of gold coins for auction at the same age, but he didn't have the strength.
For a moment, Fakado almost wanted to open his mouth to increase the price to deliberately disgust Goodn, but reason forcibly suppressed him.
If Goodern doesn't continue to bid, then he's out of luck.
The pent-up anger and jealousy in his heart, Fakado vented it on the dancing girl next to him.
The sudden pain made Maihime snort, she didn't know how Facardo had suddenly become so rude.
And Goodern, who is at the source, is anxiously waiting for Feroz to be confirmed.
On the surface, Goodern looks calm and composed, but in fact, he is already nervous at the moment.
Although he made a lot of gold coins on manganese steel, if someone wanted to compete with him, it would not be something that could be solved with dozens of gold coins.
Gooden had foreseen the worst in his mind, and if someone really came to shoot the iron ore, he would have to give up when it came to the figure of four hundred gold.
However, the situation on the field now looks very good, and Ferroz has already started to call the hammer number again.
"Two hundred gold and one silver at a time!"
"Two hundred gold, one silver twice!"
"Two hundred gold, one silver and three times!"
"Bang - congratulations to Master Goodern, take the ownership of the iron mine!"
"Huh......" After hearing the transaction information, Gooden slowly breathed a sigh of relief, no one came out to cut off the beard, which is the best result.
After a while, Ferroz personally came to the VIP box to report the results of the auction to Goodern.
"Master Gooden, the total proceeds of this auction are 543 gold and 89 silver, of which manganese steel ingots are 413 gold and 82 silver......"
"Excluding the auction of 200 gold and 1 silver for iron ore, 5 gold, 43 silver and 89 copper for handling fees, and 1 gold for the service fee, your balance income is 337 gold, 44 silver and 11 copper."
"This is the title deed of the iron mine, as long as you sign your name, the iron ore rights will be yours forever."
Glancing at the title deed, Goodern decisively signed his name on it, as proof that the land containing iron ore would henceforth bear his surname.
"Okay, besides, Master Goodern, do you have any needs when you collect money? Is it settled in gold or platinum? ”
Platinum coins are larger denominations on top of gold coins and have a 10-to-1 exchange ratio, i.e. 10 gold coins for one platinum coin.
For example, it is not convenient to transfer and transport all gold coins for large transactions, so it is better to reduce the weight of the shipment by exchanging them to platinum coins.
On top of the platinum coin, there is also a magic gold coin, which belongs to the top currency in the continent, one can be exchanged for ten platinum coins, and it is mostly used for the trading of magic equipment in the Vimar Empire.
Goodern thought for a moment and shook his head.
"Deposit it with the auction house first, when I withdraw the money, I have to pay half of it in silver coins, and I have something I need to entrust you to buy, and it must be fast, and then settle it when it is finished, Joseph Jr."
After screaming, Joseph Sr. took a piece of paper from the storage bag around his waist and handed it to Feroz.
"It says what I need, it's not a scarce item, the auction house should be able to get it all here, right?"
Listening to Goodern's words, Ferroz glanced at the paper.
Five tons of iron ore, twenty horses, and supporting carts, these are not valuable things, and with the energy of the auction house, they can all be arranged this afternoon.
Noting down the number of items, Feroz said sharply.
"No problem, except that it takes some time to ask for half of the silver coins, I will let someone arrange the rest of the matter, and the price will be recalculated and sent to you later."
Goodborn nodded, asking slightly nonchalantly.
"By the way, as the person in charge here, do you have the ability to handle more manganese ingots?"
"Young Master Goodern, what do you mean by that?"
Hearing this, Ferroz asked with a little caution, and at the same time an incredible thought rose in his heart.
"As you think, I still have a lot of manganese ingots in my hand, if you can make a decision, the manganese ingots will be handed over to you to sell."
